Challenging Pictometry in New Jersey
Some in southern New Jersey are not comfortable with the use Pictometry’s oblique imagery for assessment.
“It’s Big Brother,” said [State Senator Jeff] Van Drew, D-Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic. “We’re not supposed to be spying on people. When it gets to the point where we’re doing aerial spying on people’s lives, I’ve had enough,” Van Drew said.
Van Drew is pondering a law to limit the uses of Pictometry.
Resident farmers in West Cape had their assessment challenged since the imagery didn’t show as much acreage in pumpkins as claimed. Farmer Diane Rae explained “We don’t grow pumpkins in March.” The plan is to challenge the legality of the imagery’s use.
